22
Yehudah did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23
For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
24
and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Yisra'el.
25
It happened in the fifth year of king Rechav`am, that Shishak king of Mitzrayim came up against Yerushalayim;
26
and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Shlomo had made.
27
King Rechav`am made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
28
It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
29
Now the rest of the acts of Rechav`am, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?
30
There was war between Rechav`am and Yarov`am continually.
31
Rechav`am slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother's name was Na`amah the `Ammonite. Aviyam his son reigned in his place.
